Cajun-Style Rice Pilaf Recipe

Boil sausage in 1/4 cup water for 5 minutes. While the sausage is boiling remove the shells from the shrimp. Put shells and tails in 2 cups of water. Bring shrimp water to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.

Grill the sausage links for about 5 minutes or until they are completely cooked through. Brush the shrimp with 1/2 tablespoon oil and grill about 2 minutes per side. Pull off and set aside.

Heat a medium pot on medium high heat and add vegetable oil onions and red pepper. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add Cajun seasoning and rice; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the Syrah Rose stir for a few seconds and strain the shrimp stock into the pot. Once it comes to a boil turn the heat down to a simmer cover and cook for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile chop the shrimp and sausage into bite-sized pieces.

Once rice is done add peas shrimp and sausage and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through. Add salt and pepper to your taste. Garnish with chopped green onions.
